This will bethe world’s first factory to produce suchprotein from side streams. Additionally,Enifer is already planning largerproduction facilities focusing exclusivelyon producing high-quality and affordablePEKILO® mycoprotein ingredientstargeted to animal nutrition.The main scientific setup andfindings of the study:The 42-day study was conducted by thecanine nutrition laboratory (LENUCAN)at the Federal University of Parana (UFPR)in Brazil. The study included 16 one-yearoldbeagles (8 male, eight female) with anaverage weight of 10.43kg.Statistically significant increases werefound in gut microbiome diversity withPEKILO® inclusion in the diet.From the 20% inclusion trial, proteindigestibility of the PEKILO® ingredientwas high at 83.9%. Fecal quality was stillgood, with dry matter of 29.7% and ascore of 3.9%.Statistically significant increases werefound in the production of short-chainfatty acids (SFCAs) and branched shortchainfatty acids (BFCAs) with increasingPEKILO® inclusion in the diet.No significant differences were found inthe palatability of reference diets and thediets containing 4%, 8%, or 16% PEKILO®protein.Technology & MarketingFor more informationwww.enifer.comPhotos: Iiro Muttilainen/Enifer18Technology & Marketing
